LeBron lost to Disease
-
Lets go over which are NOT the reasons LeBron left for LA, before we get to the reason that he did:
A. He did NOT leave Cleveland for more money....he could have made more here on a long term deal.
B. He did not leave Cleveland out of a lack of loyalty to NE Ohio necessarily...his loyalty to this area was not a factor.
C. He did NOT leave because he hated Dan Gilbert or could not get along with him, or because Gilbert did not do enough to provide a team around him. Dan did everything he could...but there was nothing he could do about LeBron leaving no matter how much money he spent.
D. He did NOT leave Cleveland because the team he is going to gives him a better chance to win titles. If you compare the Cavs roster without LeBron to the Lakers roster without LeBron, right now, the Cavs roster is much better. The current Lakers have NO player anywhere as good as Kevin Love, or likely Tristan Thompson. They have some OK young players....but none of their young players, as far as I can see have any better of a future than does the young guard that the Cavs just drafted, Collin Sexton. Now, maybe if Kawhi Leonard goes there eventually that team may have a potential to challenge, but him going there is no sure thing...nor is it a sure thing that Kawhi will be healthy...nor that LeBron will be. So, "Winning Basketball is NOT there reason he left.
No....LeBron was stricken with a disease, and that disease is why LeBron is gone, and that disease is:
Hollywooditis.
LeBron is in LA because he has become starstruck with Celebrity. He certainly is a celebrity and wants to hang with celebrities. He wants to sniff celebrities butt cracks and he was to have his butt crack sniffed by other celebrities. All he (and apparently his wife and his "management group) does is have stars in his eyes. They simply want to indulge themselves into the phony Hollywood lifestyle. Some may claim that he made this move based on his future business concerns; and while that may be true, those business concerns involve trying to make movies...and to try to star in movies. He has really now turned his career into one of being more concerned about the success of his "production company" than with the success of his basketball career. Of course he needs to continue to play basketball for a while....because he is only a celebrity because of basketball....and he will have to put in a few years of smooching up to the people buying the Lakers courtside seats, before he can move on and just pay sole attention to his sychophancy to celebrity. But that is why he is in LA now, and not in places that would be much better for basketball.

I personally would take Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randal and Josh Hart over those remaining busters on the Cavs roster any day.

No, he isn't. You haven't a clue. If Gilbert were the problem LBJ would never have come back here.

$1000 says any one of them would know the f'n score in game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Still cannot believe that happened

IMO the real "Disease" is all the critics who keep harping on "MJ's 6 RINGS" Nobody outside of Cle thinks LeBron is anything special. They think he's "decent" but he's no Kobe, MJ or Bird. You think that doesn't eat away at him? You think he isn't sick of hearing about it?
If he wants to be considered the GOAT, he needs at least 1 more rings to really state his case. I'd like to see him do it just to shut up the Kobe and MJ fanboys who won't shut up about his losing record in the finals.
I can tell you one city who's delighted that he went to the Lakers.... Boston. Now they actually might get back to the Finals

Similar to "having stars in your eyes"LeBron James has acquired a bad case of Hollywooditis because the LA Laker team he went to actually really sucks and has no chance of winning anything; and all he really wants to do by going there is to schmooze and share the aroma of his asscrack with the celebrities out there who also will want to smell his asscrack; and to try to become some kind of movie mogul, even though most of the entertainment he has produced has sucked pretty badly as well. -
Rustbeltitis is a known risk factor in the development of hollywooditis.
There may be no place like home but there are other places besides home. LeBron still does lots of charitable work in NE Ohio and that's just the truth opinion aside.

LeBron doesn't have Hollywooditis or any other itis he is already a true bona-fide mega superstar if anything the stars in California and anywhere else in the world would flock to him not the other way around.
......LeBron Raymone James Sr. (/ləˈbrɒn/; born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player who is a free agent. He has played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Cleveland Cavaliers (2003–2010; 2014–2018) and Miami Heat (2010–2014). James announced his intention to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers on July 1, 2018.[1] Often considered the best basketball player in the world and regarded by many as the greatest of all time,[2][3][4][5]James' NBA accomplishments are extensive, and include four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards, three NBA Finals MVP Awards, two Olympic gold medals, three All-Star Game MVP awards, an NBA scoring title, and is the all-time NBA playoffs scoring leader. He has also amassed fourteen NBA All-Star Game appearances, twelve All-NBA First Team designations, and five All-Defensive First Team honors.......
........In Miami, James won his first NBA championship in 2012, and followed that with another title a year later. He was named league MVP and NBA Finals MVP in both championship years. In 2014, James opted out of his contract with Miami after four seasons to re-sign with the Cavaliers. In 2016, James led the Cavaliers to their first NBA championship by defeating the Golden State Warriors to end Cleveland's 52-year professional sports title drought........
........James is considered by many people, including his fellow NBA players, to be the "face of the NBA".[308] His opinions have yielded significant influence on people who make important league decisions; for example, in 2014 he asked commissioner Adam Silverto increase the duration of the All-Star break, and the request was granted the following season.[309] On February 13, 2015, James was elected the first Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).[310]

His activism and other bio topics run for pages.
He owes Cleveland nothing, they have him and him only for breaking that 52 year curse. Hollywood, LA, California, anywhere would be in awe of him, guess what they already are!

Wouldn't he be considered the most famous athlete in the world right now? He's an absolute mega star.
I was listening to a sports talk show driving home last night. The host thinks LeBron is the most valuable player in NBA history. Cavs went from 12-1 odds of winning the NBA championships to 500-1 overnight when he went to the Lakers.
